Interesting. I wonder how this situation would play out today.

No doubt that nursing students at Hamlet were well trained.I remember seeing the students walking to the hospital from their residence wearing their capes.

They really did make a difference.

What about Donnie Helms & Jerry Stutts?

I also remember Pinecroft as a wonderful place to live. We would wander from one yard to another all day. We could ride our bikes in the street with baseball cards attached to the spokes in the wheel. That was so much fun!!! I still remember all of our neighbors lived in the same houses for many man...

Wow! Gorgeous.

I can remember loving this place!!!!!

I remember this storm very well. People in Hamlet, who used their fireplaces as a place to hang Christmas stockings once a year, were suddenly building fires for the first time. I spent several nights at Jenny Wright's house.There were at least 4 or 5 more of Jenny's friends there also. We actually ...

Front row- next to the player on the far right holding ball is Sarah Gaddy.

Front row Left resembles a Roofe. Front row Far Right is Sara Livingston(Monty's Mother) and next to her is Sara Howell.

Wow! Mrs. James did not have a lazy bone in her body. What has happened to this country? History will have to repeat itself for us to learn the valuable lessons that Mrs.James knew.

Looks like the window on the right is open so picture may have been taken in warm weather.

After further googling, I discovered that the Bobbie Caldwell who recently died in Concord NC was survived by husband Charles. I think I would have changed my name.

Caldwell was ruthless. His wife was very brave to wear a wire. She should have turned him in long before though. At least, she appeared to have a little piece of heart left in her......perhaps. I googled Bobbie Caldwell and found that a person with that name recently died in Concord NC. Think it was...

Somewhere I read earlier that Maceo received call at work from his Mom to come home. Maceo told coworkers that he had to leave and go check on her because she was ill. Was his Mom forced to make that call by her killer? She was a beautiful,sweet lady. Heartbreaking story.

The Sullivan suicide is puzzling.

What a sad story. I never really knew the details.

One more comment...that sure looks like Jimmy Taylor walking on the platform in the picture "Space Flight."

I cannot imagine anyone swimming at Boyd's Lake at night. Every time I swam out to that diving board I felt like there were water snakes all over the place. I know they lived under that platform. Regardless of all that, I think Boyd's Lake was one of my favorite places in Hamlet. I loved that place....

I was only 5 years old when this happened, but I do remember that the town of Hamlet was quite upset. How was the timeline explained though? How could Wetzel drive from Ellerbe to Sanford in such a short amount of time? Thoughts?

What an awesome story!

I am reading your book, Jody. I think I will be sad when it is over. Perhaps you will write more books about Hamlet and its history. Think about that.

I especially enjoyed reading this article due to my many years working as an Operating Room nurse. I have known many nurses like Ms.Shaw; they have kept many surgeons out of trouble!!!

Where is the rest of the article?

Steve Winchester's name was not noted in the article and also another guy that may be a McKeithan.
